Speicaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 23.638,v dared April 12,1859,

oll whom it may concern.'

Beit known that I, WILLIAM ZELLER, of Mill Creek township, in the countyof Lebanon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and ImprovedMode ofApply-ing and Constructin g Horse-Powers; and vI herebydeclarethat the following is afnll and exact description thereof, referencebeing'had to the accom panying drawings, and marked thereon.

The nature of :ny-invention consists in combining the operation of thecommon horsepowerwith areaper or mower, and readily applyingthe samepower to other purposes of sawing or thrashing, Ste.'

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinvention,Iwil1proceed t0 describe its construction and operation.

Figure, l shows a plan of a machine as a horse-power; and Fig. 2, a planof the sainev with arms A2.A taken ott, and the same power used for areaper or mower.

The wheel B and the trucks 'F F serve as trucks to carriage when usedfor a reaper, but when used for a horse-power Gr2 is detached and theframe turne'd down. The shaft C is attached to shaft C at B2 B2 by anyof 'the well-known drivers for couplings. i The arms Aare at'tached'tothe outer rim of the drivingwheel by the screw-bolts h2 k2. The' stays Hto the letters of reference are also mane fast to the arms and on therim of the driving-Wheel by screws..

D,.Fig. 1, is a sill or rest for the shaft C, and E the band-wheel. Thepeculiar advantages of this combination are that when the horse- 4poweris used for'any other purpose than a reap-...1

er the wear on the cogs of the machinery is reversed, which will givenearlydouble wear to the' machine,--besides saving to the farmer theexpense of onewhole horse-power and.. machine. Vand a large saving ofpower in the' manner of attaching the 'lever A2.

G, Fig. 1, represents the cogged segments,A

which are made"adjustableto4 the 'rim of the wheel B and secured bybolts-or screws. p

Having thus iully described my invention, I

O do not claim the cog-wheels or gearing used;-
